Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
This module uses both seminars and project supervision. The seminar classes discuss issues relevant to develop a mass communications project proposal into a mass communications project. These classes will provide ample opportunity for individuals and groups to present and discuss their projects in order to receive constructive criticism from colleagues and the lecturer. This will help students to develop further their meeting communication skills and their abilities to give, receive, and benefit from constructive feedback (LOs 1, 2, 5). Fortnightly project supervision sessions provide students with a supervised and guided environment within which they will receive verbal and written feedback on each project as it develops (LOs 1-5).
|
This module has extensive opportunities for continuous formative feedback across the trimester as students develop their mass communications projects. Feedback will be provided by other students and by the lecturer during seminar discussions. Further, detailed written and verbal feedback will be provided in fortnightly project supervision sessions with the lecturer.
|
There are three summative assessments. First, the completed mass communications project constitutes 75% of the mark. This may be an individual or group project, depending on which proposals from the Mass Communications Project Research module are accepted to be produced in this module. In group projects you will be assessed individually on your role(s), which will include your abilities to work collaboratively. Your performance will be evaluated against the tasks agreed with the module leader. Second, you will each produce a reflective essay on your project, which will be worth 15% of your mark. Third, you will each receive a 10% project process mark from your lecturer that will assess such things as your attendance and participation in classes and supervision sessions, and your ability to follow production schedules.
